I don't quite think you get what I'm saing about Rebellion. Rebellion is different than other Devil Arms in that it essentially is Dante's own power emodied. When Dante draws power from it he is essentially tapping into his own power. When he DT's with it, he is tapping into his own DT. It's not that im saying Dante would never have DT if he never had Rebellion. Actually its the opposite. If he never had Rebellion or any other DA, his DT would look like what we get with Rebellion


 * Every time(until the time of 4) Dante DT's with a weapon, he takes on the characteristics of that weapon.


 * Cerberus: takes on Cerberus-ness


 * Nevan: Nevan-ness


 * Beowulf-Beowulf-ness


 * but Rebellion: Dante-ness

I was referring specifically to DMC3: When you say Dante doesn't have his own DT, that would mean that it would change completely because he is a blank slate. The DT's would have no resembance to one another in that case. But thats not what happens. In it Dante's DT is fresh and can't completely take on the resemblance of the DA. It tries but lacks the ability to fully adjust. Thats why they all resemble one another The truest form is the Rebellion DT, for the reason above.

DMC1: at this point Dante can completely change/apply the DA's demon form.

DMC4: Dante is strong enough/has a mature enough DT that it doesn't take on traits of the DA he is using to DT

DMC2: same as DMC4, his DT has just matured some more.
